You can delete your Obol account and all of its data yourself, at any time, without asking us. Deletion is immediate and permanent — there is no thirty-day grace period and no shadow copy waiting to be restored. Export first if you want to keep your records.
Delete from inside the app
- 1
Open Settings
In the Obol app, tap the Settings tab.
- 2
Go to Privacy & Security
Settings → Privacy & Security. This screen holds every data control in one place.
- 3
Tap “Delete account”
Listed as “Remove your profile and data”. If you want a copy first, tap “Export my data” on the same screen — it saves everything as a JSON file.
- 4
Confirm
Read the confirmation and confirm. Deletion runs immediately and you are signed out. It cannot be undone.
What gets deleted
Deleting your account removes your authentication identity, and every record owned by it is removed with it:
- Your profile — display name, preferred currency, language and settings.
- Every expense, income entry and transfer.
- Accounts, categories, budgets and buckets.
- Bills, subscriptions and installments.
- Any receipt or invoice image you attached.
- Your assistant chat history and generated insights.
- Anything automatic detection had captured, including the review inbox, along with the app's local data on the device you are signed in on.
The deletion runs on our server with a full cascade across the database, so no orphaned row is left behind holding your data.
What is not deleted
- Copies you exported yourself. A JSON export sits on your device or wherever you saved it; only you can delete that.
- Your App Store or Google Play purchase history. That belongs to Apple and Google, not to us. Cancel any active subscription in your Apple or Google account settings — deleting your Obol account does not cancel a store subscription.
- Email you have sent us. If you have written to support, that correspondence stays in our inbox unless you ask us to remove it.
- Encrypted backups held by our hosting provider, which roll off on that provider's own schedule (typically within 30 days) and are never used to restore an individual deleted account.
Delete only some of your data
You do not have to delete the whole account. On the same Privacy & Security screen you can:
- Reset your data — clear transactions and budgets while keeping the account and your settings.
- Delete individual records — swipe or open any expense, budget or bill and delete it.
- Clear assistant history — remove past questions and answers.
- Turn detection off — stop future capture and clear the review inbox.
If you cannot sign in
Lost the app or your password? Email support@obolapp.com from the email address the account uses, with the subject “Account deletion request”.
We reply to confirm it is really you before deleting anything — an unverified deletion request is itself an attack. Once confirmed we complete the deletion and email you when it is done, within 30 days and usually much sooner. There is no charge.
